The City is embarking on a visionary Downtown Revitalization Plan.
The streetscape is designed to curve and wind through the main core of downtown – West Avenue. It will feature green and outdoor spaces that will complement the new sports and entertainment venue, apartments, retail and restaurants. It will also include improvements to the surrounding streets of downtown.
The most important piece of the streetscape project will be the least visible and the most expensive. It is the infrastructure improvements which include replacing and upsizing aging and undersized underground utilities such as water, sewer, storm water, natural gas, electricity and the installation of technology.
“This streetscape is critical to creating an experience for the people who will live, visit and play in our City. It is an outdoor space designed to serve as our living room and we want everyone to feel welcome and to spend time and ultimately invest in our downtown,” commented Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg.
The unique design allows the streets to serve as a linear park. The streetscape focuses on green spaces, encouraging pedestrian activity, outdoor dining and social hubs – all while maintaining traffic flow using two traffic circles and offering parking options. The design provides interaction between businesses and preserving historical elements of the City’s core.
The project will begin in Fall 2017. The City has been planning for almost a decade for these improvements. The project was placed in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan years ago so that the City could set aside monies c...
